A catraindication is a cat changing its mind about what they were going to do, about to do, wanted to do, asking for from you, or thinking about doing. (Believe me, degrees of differences exist in catdom.)
Famous ones include a cat begging to eat. You provide them food. They sniff, and then hurry to the door and ask to be let out. Or, as though insulted, turn and mime burying that food, as though your offering is so appalling, they need to bury it like feces.
Another one for which cats have gained notoriety is the famous indoor/outdoor routine. I want out. No, wait, it’s wet out here. Let me in. No, it’s boring in here. Let me out another door. No, it’s wet outside of this door, too. Let me back in. Let’s try the front door again.
A third famous moment of catraindications well-known among catsters is the cat who begins a jump and then changes their mind…a split second too late.
Michael Seidel, writer 
Ashley demands that a human throw a stick (actually a drinking straw — she has a stash of ’em) for her to fetch, she runs toward it… and then she decides she doesn’t want to play fetch after all. And then she does it all again. “Throw the stick for kitty! Meh — fetch is boring… Throw the stick!”

Hilarious! I love these glimpses into their minds.

Oh my gosh! You have pegged it. I laughed about the mid-jump indecision, but then Flash has practiced this all too often. Not that she (and previous cats) hasn’t followed other examples you mentioned. ~nan
Flash always tells me, “I meant to do that!” And then begins to wash her paws, dismissing me.
